A tragic car crash involving a\u00a0family of four has left the 10-year-old son dead and the rest of his devastated family\u00a0in hospital with serious\u00a0injuries.<\/p>\n

The tragic accident happened in the Al Qudra area of\u00a0Ras Al Khaimah, the family were travelling from Fujairah to their home in Sharjah at around 12.30am on Saturday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The car they were travelling in overturned and rolled down a hill, when the father of the boy fell asleep at the wheel.<\/p>\n

Manas Kunnummal was pronnouced dead at approximately 2.30am, on arriving at the hospital.\u00a0His\u00a0father, Sreekumar Kunnummal, is fighting for his life\u00a0at Fujairah Hospital, he is in a coma,\u00a0suffering from a chest injury and internal bleeding, while his mother, Neethu, 34, has a spinal cord injury. His sister, Madha, 7, has a broken leg and hand.<\/p>\n

Savad Yusuf,\u00a0a friend of the family, told The National:\u00a0\u201cThey were all tired and sleeping in the car when the accident happened. Sreekumar Kunnummal, the father, was driving when he accidentally slept, lost control of the car and went down the hill,” said Mr Yusuf.<\/p>\n

\u201cA passer-by informed the police and they took two hours to rescue the Kunnummal family as the area had no light and was somewhat remote. It was difficult to reach them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe father can\u2019t breathe on his own and is still unconscious. The mother, Neethu, 34, has a serious spinal cord injury and had a three-hour operation today, while the daughter, Madha, 7, has a broken leg and hand and will have an operation tomorrow,” he\u00a0added.<\/p>\n

The boy’s body will be sent home\u00a0to India.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNinety-five per cent of the paperwork is done and we hope that we can send the body tomorrow to India,” said Mr Yusuf.<\/p>\n
